Diamondbacks sent LHP Santos Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Reno.

The move clears room on the 40-man roster for the addition of Oliver Perez. Rodriguez put up a 4.91 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 47 2/3 innings last season between Double- and Triple-A with the White Sox before the D'Backs claimed him off waivers in January. Mon, Mar 10, 2014 08:23:00 PM

Rodriguez was designated for assignment last week by the Pale Hose and has now found a new home. He put up a 4.91 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 47 2/3 innings last season between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. The southpaw is merely organizational depth for the D'Backs.

White Sox designated LHP Santos Rodriguez for assignment.

Rodriguez posted an underwhelming 4.91 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 47 2/3 innings last season between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He'll likely pass through waivers unclaimed and head back to Charlotte in 2014. Thu, Jan 2, 2014 02:09:00 PM

Rodriguez, who turns 25 in January, had a solid 2.90 ERA and 69/35 K/BB ratio over 71 1/3 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A. The southpaw likely would have been picked up in the Rule 5 Draft if he was exposed. Tue, Nov 20, 2012 02:26:00 PM

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic writes that the Diamondbacks "seem to be preparing for (Chris Owings) to hold down a super-utility role."

The common feeling coming into spring training seemed to be that Owings would be the favorite to start at second base, but Piecoro says it will likely be Ketel Marte at second and Nick Ahmed at shortstop. Owings should still get a good amount of playing time with his ability to fill in all over the field, but this news obviously isn't great for his fantasy value.

Zack Greinke (groin) said he felt good after Sunday's bullpen session and is hopeful that he'll be ready for the start of the regular season.

"If I felt this good every day for the rest of my career, it would be amazing," Greinek said after his 40-pitch session. If he stays on his current scheduled and avoids any setbacks, it sounds like he could be ready to work in the team's third game of the regular season against the Rockies.

Shelby Miller (elbow) threw his first bullpen session of the year on Tuesday.

Miller came away happy with the bullpen session, saying that his command was "right there." He'll throw again on Friday, and eventually will progress to facing live hitters at some point this spring. The Diamondbacks placed the 27-year-old right-hander on the 60-day disabled list on February after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year, so he won't be eligible to return until late May, and he likely doesn't pitch for the Diamondbacks until June or July.

Delgado has yet to appear in a spring training game because of the oblique strain. He's been a significant part of the Arizona bullpen the last two seasons, so the Diamondbacks will have to piece together his mid-to-late inning appearances until he returns.
